Allodia {Allodia) embla Hackman 



Males can be determined from the genitalia figures in Hackman (1971). It was 

 thought to be a boreal species and most British records (now 30 sites) are from 

 SCOTLAND: East Ross, Nairn, Inverness-shire and WALES: Glamorgan, Radnor, 

 Cardigan, Montgomery. Records from ENGLAND relate to Shropshire, Westmor- 

 land, Suffolk and ten wetland sites in Norfolk. The records from Wales and East 

 Anglia result from surveys by the former NCC. 



Allodia {Allodia) zaitzevi Kurina 



This species was recorded from Ireland by Chandler (1987a) as pyxidiiformis 

 Zaitzev, 1983. It is also common in Britain, having previously been confused with 

 A. omaticollis (Meigen). Kurina (1998) showed that the type series of pyxidiiformis 

 included two species and the holotype was not the same species figured by Zaitzev 

 (1983), which he described as zaitzevi to which British Isles material belongs. It has 

 been examined from throughout Britain north to Sutherland. 



Allodia {Brachycampta) protenta Lastovka & Matile 



Lastovka & Matile (1974) figured the male genitalia. This was trapped in 1988 on 

 the NCC wetland surveys at three sites in WALES: Anglesey (wet meadows) and ten 

 sites in ENGLAND: Norfolk, eight sites (including reedbeds and carr woodland); 

 Suffolk, Walberswick and Cambs, Chippenham Fen. It was also obtained in 1989 in a 

 Malaise trap at Cromle y Veddy (SC300857), ISLE OF MAN (S.M. Crellin). 



Allodia {Brachycampta) wester holti Caspers 



Caspers (1980) figured the male genitalia; the name retracta Plassmann, 1977 was 

 used for it for a time following Caspers & Plassmann (1986) but this has now been 

 corrected (Caspers, 1996). The British sites are broad-leaved woodland, mainly beech 

 (Fagus) on chalk or limestone: 



ENGLAND: Surrey, Box Hill, ll.vii.1992, 1 male (Chandler); Gloucs, Workman's 

 Wood NNR, 11.x. 1979, 1 male (I.F.G. McLean); Gloucs, Chedworth, 12.x. 1979, 1 

 male (A.E. Stubbs). 



Allodiopsis korolevi Zaitzev 



This was figured by Zaitzev (1982b) from Russia. The British site is a small area of 

 mixed woodland, including conifer plantations. Remarkably Mycetophila stricklandi 

 (Laffoon) (see below) was found there two days later on a visit to follow up the find 

 of A. korolevi. 



British material of A. korolevi: 



ENGLAND: North Yorks, Boltby, Spring Wood, 17.vii.1996, 1 male (A.E. Stubbs). 



Brevicornu arcticoides Caspers 



The male genitalia were figured by Caspers (1985). Emley (1992) recorded it as 

 arcticoides from Staffordshire, but Chandler (1998c) suggested synonymy of this with 

 fasciculatum Lackschewitz (1937). However, Chandler (2000) confirmed that
